Support Equipment

Abstract

The ongoing Support Equipment program replaces obsolete/unsupportable/non-serviceable weapon system support and test equipment necessary to extend the operational life of the Minuteman III weapon system through 2030. The efforts include design, development, and testing of replacement support equipment such as the Electrical-Electronic Equipment Test Sets (EEETS), Reentry Field Support Equipment (RFSE), Minuteman Code System Media (CSM), Payload Transporter Replacement (PTR), Higher Authority Command/Rapid Message Processing Element (HAC/RMPE) Message Generator, Single Integrated Operation Plan (SIOP) Targeting Application Computer System (STACS) and Transporter Erector Replacement Program (TERP). It also includes the design, development, and testing of replacement flight test equipment necessary to conduct Force Development Evaluations (FDEs) and ICBM Fuze Modernization flight tests such as the Instrumentation Wafer Replacement Program (IWRP) and the Signal Conditioner Monitor Group (SCMG) replacement program. FDEs are required by USSTRATCOM and the Department of Energy to determine continuing reliability and effectiveness of the ICBM weapon system. BA5 - This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
